Liminal Space / Backrooms

Familiar architecture without people. Repetition. Wrong lighting. Endless continuation.

Subplaces

Backrooms, empty mall, empty school, poolrooms, hotels, offices

Tenets

1. Repetitive modular kits
2. Fluorescent hum lighting
3. Stained carpet / yellowed walls (variant-dependent)
4. No narrative clutter — emptiness is the story
5. Soft wrongness over jump scares

Recipe

Target: an empty yellowed office/Backrooms hall: wallpaper base about [0.55, 0.5, 0.25], flat even overhead light, wide 24 mm camera at eye height (1.6 m), no clutter, one vanishing point.
